Spring barges in like
a petulant pubescent
with a heart of gold

She has bread


Instantly, at the

five hundred pigeons

Rusty though I am
I recollect the meter:
five, seven, and five

Sage words from a friend
dispelling my mundane mists
like a morning fog

Three at a bus stop
All eyebrows and attitude
They squint in the sun

The peal of a bell
birds scatter, breaking cover
in the morning rain

Monday morning haiku: Feb 26

All going nowhere:
That car, that soot, that feeling,
Until the ice melts

Scattered, I forgot.
I've never had a knack for
punctuality.

Stirring, silent sight
White now but gray all too soon
Chicago snowfall

a freshly-written haiku
to start the work week
